JC Project - Sunrise

[Sparmactro]

Hi, this is my trance project. Want your opinion about every aspect of the recording. The voice is mine. :P Im not a singer but autotune helps a lot!

At about 1:20 the beat kicks in, but its totally washed ashore and doesnt cut through the mix enough, Id like to hear the beat kick me in the head a little more when it comes in and makes me take my glowsticks out and dance!

Thats all. I love how it starts. I loove the melody and harmonix, and enjoy the constant eq change etc. Decent panning too.

What are the words? Sounds russian! LOL. No serious.

[Sparmactro]

Hahahahaha russian? it says... watch the stars, watch the moonlight and dance with me until the sunrise :P... maybe it sounds weird because the T in waTch doesnt sound too much hahaha I noticed the low volume of the kick, i've fix that already thx!

I like it. How are you, my real name's Vince and I'm new to the forums.

I am not sure if am listening to the track that you have already edited based on the advice from mazurmax, but when the beat kicks in at about 1:15 or so, I still think it lacks the punch of the intro. The kick, snare and bassline all sound clearer and louder to me in the intro than in the rest of the song. This is just my humble opinion.

Everything else is great to me, including the vocals. (At first I didn't like the "whistle" sounding synth, but it seems to fit in well with your overall vision, and you don't use it too much, so I think it's good now too.)

What's your myspace or FB? I'd like to ask YOU for advice in the near-ish future (6 - 12 months out).

[Sparmactro]

Hi lucccien, thx for writting!, About min 1:15 its because of all the keyboards that come out, and about the whistle sound, a friend told me the same... She didn't like it, and maybe I'll change it. I don't know what sound to put instead. Saxo will sound very "guru josh" hahahaha. My myspace is myspace.com/sparmactro and in facebook look me by my mail. jcpelaez@live.com, its my msn too.

[lucccien]

Just checked your myspace and I also like 'Someone Like You'. Could use a stronger kick/bass in my humble opinion, but perhaps that's how you like it, and I enjoyed the song just as it is. (and you didn't ask for my opinion on that one, lol). I really like your arranging skills. :-)

cool song! really energetic

only think i could think of would be to sidechain the bass and maybe some of the highhats with the kick so they start pumping a little bit.

[tomh500]

I think this is a really good song, again I have the same criticism as everyone else, the drums are washed out. Also I would suggest you have longer build ups, trance tends to have long momentus build ups and huge drops. However your style is very good and the sounds you have used really fit the mood.

Hey, I really dig this tune. Fits my trance-needs perfect at the moment, as I sit here in boredom working the grave yard shift. Keep it up!
